Rust is the ugliest, least palatable, alternative to C for me. Seems like they said "Let's chain function calls together like java(script) as the preferred expression and throw in lispy looking declarations and logic constructs. When people get frustrated with our safety paradigm there will always be unsafe..for experts."

Yeah, I feel pretty much the same way. I get that there are a lot of sharp edges in C but I don't see why every attempt to do a new language wants to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Why not do a C dialect that fixes whatever it is that bugs people? There is value in the Rust language, why couldn't that value have been added to a C like language?

There have been attempts. Safe-C and Cyclone come to mind.
